I recently purchased a 1989 Stingray 17' with a 224 CID 165 HP engine. Can
anyone tell me if they have had good luck with this engine Mercruiser only
built if for 3 years. It has the closed cooling system. Also, if anyone
knows of any known problems that were common with the engine that I should
keep an eye out for.

Put a 4 barrel carb on and you will get 190 Hp
